Introducing Made in Canada, Naturally™ Jars for the Cannabis Industry

Light Weight Jars100% Renewable ResourcesCompostable Resins

> Users are calling for a reduction in the total amount of wasteful plastic being used – currently, up to 80 grams to package 3.5 grams! > Also, users would much prefer to see packaging that has an environmentally responsible end-of-life. > And it needs to be a scalable sustainable solution that is competitive.

A combination of these three attributes – packaging offering a reduction of materials used, packaging utilizing renewable resources that has environmentally responsible end-of-life disposal, and packaging that is competitive – makes for a sustainable path forward and a trail-blazing differentiator for the cannabis industry.

In response to the current worldwide push to eliminate landfill-destined plastics in packaging, we have designed Made in Canada, Naturally™ jars for the cannabis industry

The packaging is significantly lighter

Our 3.5g Flower Jar weighs 12g and the lid weighs 6g – this is 18g total. The incumbent jars currently used along with the lids weigh 74 grams. This is a savings of over 1.2 million pounds of plastic for every 10 million jars. And that is just for the one SKU! This directly translates to greenhouse gas savings.

We use waste streams of the hemp plant

The black colour is from USDA certified “99% new carbon” using “waste” streams of the hemp plant – a first in the world.

Renewable Resources

The bio-composite resin used is made from renewable resources that have a zero-carbon footprint. Use of Non-renewable fossil fuels is thus minimized – contributing to reduction in GHGs.

Food contact and BPI certified resins used to mold the jars

The resins used to mold these jars are food contact certified (DinCertco 8C084 and ASTM D6866) and are derived in large part from land and the resins used to mold these jars are BPI certified (Biodegradable Products Institute)

We have accomplished this weight savings without sacrificing quality by designing our jars and closures using a barrier protected bio-composite resin that lends itself to thin-walled molding. We have designed and are custom-building our own molds specifically for the cannabis industry.

Made in Canada, Naturally™
Both our jars and the resins are made in Canada.

Our Resin Supplier – Competitive Green Technologies

Competitive Green Technologies (CGTech) has BPI (Biodegradable Products Institute) certified resins that are deemed compostable in industrial composting facilities when used as components in a product.

The molded jars are made using resins from Competitive Green Technologies that, in addition to being compostable as components, are also zero leach and hence there is no ingress from the resin into the packaged goods.

These bio-composite resins are made from renewable resources including hemp. The guiding philosophy of the company is to use as much as possible, agricultural residues that are non-food and non-forest based renewable natural resources.

This facilitates the circular economy to becoming a real, sustainable alternative - from land to a Brand and then back again to land.

The continuing research and commercialization at CGTech will ensure that improvements in performance continue to be made for the cannabis jars Made in Canada, naturally™.

We offer a packaging solution that is the first of its kind in the world – land to your Brand and back to land – the quintessence of the holy grail of a sustainable circular economy for the cannabis industry. Our jars solve your plastic waste problem competitively.
